2 Chronicles 3:4-10
New International Version
4 The portico at the front of the temple was twenty cubits[a] long across the width of the building and twenty[b] cubits high.
He overlaid the inside with pure gold. 5 He paneled the main hall with juniper and covered it with fine gold and decorated it with palm tree(A) and chain designs. 6 He adorned the temple with precious stones. And the gold he used was gold of Parvaim. 7 He overlaid the ceiling beams, doorframes, walls and doors of the temple with gold, and he carved cherubim(B) on the walls.
8 He built the Most Holy Place,(C) its length corresponding to the width of the temple—twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide. He overlaid the inside with six hundred talents[c] of fine gold. 9 The gold nails(D) weighed fifty shekels.[d] He also overlaid the upper parts with gold.
10 For the Most Holy Place he made a pair(E) of sculptured cherubim and overlaid them with gold.
